Congrats!
Enjoy using your bags...

I like to ask you, is the Gabrielle Hobo Medium heavy ?
I got the small one and love it but the chains are kind of heavy for me. And I'm considering the medium but because I got neck and shoulder problem I'm hesitant to get the medium.

Thank you! I don't find the medium too heavy for me, but that may be because I don't use it as frequently. I get your concern though as I tend to use my WOCs on a daily basis and even with just a phone and card wallet, my shoulder can get a bit sore after a full day. When I switch to my medium Gabrielle, I always wear it with chains on both shoulders so it actually helps distribute the weight; wearing it as a backpack is quite comfy. It's my go-to when I need to hold more, like glasses, sunglasses & notebook.

Try it on at the store! (I think you'll love it too if you love the small!)

Personally I don't find the Medium heavy but that's probably because I don't stuff it (wallet, tissues, phone, mints, lipstick, blusher, work lanyard... that's about it). And Greyskies is right. If you use both chains over both shoulders, the weight is really quite manageable. That said, if you find the Small heavy, you'll probably find the Medium heavy too. It's bigger and has a bigger (and heavier!) base.

Please say hello to my new small Gabby in deep olive! It’s such an excellent size for me as I don’t carry much around. I think this is going to be my daily bag from now on.

This is a very deep olive. The warm brownish tones are very obvious in day light but at night the bag looks black. It feels like a 2-in-1 bargain to me, HAHAHAHA.

All pics were taken during the day in natural sunlight. Last pic shows my bag against a black dress so it’s easier to see the olive colour.

Do you guys know if Chanel makes a Gaby backpack in this colour? I love the deep green but I just recently got a hobo so was hoping ito get a backpack in this colour.
